IMPROVEMENT IN SAPEIY-POGKBTS.

T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that I, ROBERT W. FISK, of Olney, Richland oounty. State ofIllinois, have invented a, new and nseful Watch-Safety Pocket; and I dohereby declare i;he following to be a full, clea-r, and exactdescription of the nature, construction, and operaion of the same,suficient to enable orne skilled in the art to which il: appertains toconsoruct andustho same, referncebeing had to th accompanying drawings,which are made .part of this specifiation, and in which the sume lettersindicate similar parts.

Figure 1 is arear view of the a.tta.ching plate.

Figure 2 is a irtical section. 4

A plaie is attached to the back band of the pantaloons, orothergarments, with a bock protruding throgh a. buttbn-hole into. thepgcke- Upon this bock the watch is hung, and secured thereon by a pfongoperated by a. swing-lever pivoted to the plate. In the drawings Ais theband of t;l1e pantaloons, to which the pocket B is attached.- C is -nhefrontof the gnrmen t, and b the"entrance to the pocll Dis a. plate,secured by notchs in the stra.p E, and having a hook, e, Which projectsthrough a. button-hole into the pocket B,-so that the wath F muy bangthereon. When' the vimtch is hung in position in tlie pocket upon thehook e, the prong m is made to close the opening, so that tlie watchcannot be unhooked. The upper edgebf the plate D is rounded, so as tol1ol d :1, pin, n, around which the wire M is coiled, onend fornlingthprong m, Which ,projects through the button-hole and comes in contactwith the hooke, the other end, m, forming a meajns of fastening theprong m aguins: the hook e, when the end m 13 secured in the catchp likea. brocoli-pin. Tl1e pin 11, isfa.stened in its socket, and one end, S,being prolonged and bent around under the wi re, forum a. sp1ing toelevat e the said wire when freed from the catch p;

The device is a sfeguard against the watch being picked from the pocket,as it cannot be detached from the bock until the prong m is det-chedfrom the hi)ok e, by releasing the pin m ffom the catch 10. The devineis shown a.g attached to the Waist of a pair of pantaloons, but iris eually applicable to other gu.rments.

Having described my invention, wha.t I daim therein as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

A watch-safe, 'consisting essentinlly of the-plnte D, bock e,. prong mand m, when combined and arranged to operate in the manner and for thepurpose speeified.
